LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 16, 2016) — The 2016 Bluegrass Classic Stockdog Trial will bring more than 600 dog and handler teams from across the country to Lexington from Wednesday through Sunday.

This type of herding competition was made famous by the movie ‘Babe’, and has drawn thousands of dog handlers and spectators to the region during the past 54 years.

Spectators can bring their own dogs (on leashes) and are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. The event will feature several raffles and concessions will be available for purchase. Photography is allowed.

Also, the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday at Masterson Station Park. The two-day festival features more than 100 vendors, live animals, sheep shearing demonstrations and an amazing selection of classes and workshops.
